摘要:Metal halide perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have wide color gamut and high color purity, with broad application prospects in lighting and displays. A groundbreaking study by a research team at the University of London published in Scientific Reports found that exposure to red light for just 3 minutes a day can significantly alleviate vision decline. The tunability of perovskite's spectrum and its high color purity provide assurance for the realization of eye-protective red-emitted PeLEDs. Unlike previous interface engineering or ligand engineering methods, this paper proposes a new approach to enhance the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of quasi-two-dimensional perovskite red PeLEDs by combining them with microcavity structures to achieve narrower linewidths in electroluminescent devices. The results show that by integrating distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) with PeLEDs, narrow linewidth high-performance PeLEDs based on microcavity structures were designed and fabricated, achieving a doubling of EQE on top of narrowing the electroluminescence (EL) full width at half maximum for microcavity PeLEDs, with a maximum EQE reaching 11.26%. Compared to reference devices prepared under the same conditions, PeLED devices with microcavity structures narrowed their EL linewidth to one-third that of reference devices, only 11 nm.

摘要:Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as a new type of phototherapy technology, has the advantages of non-invasive and low toxic side effects, and has important application prospects in clinical medicine. Currently, PDT research is mainly based on statically cultured tumor cells, which significantly differ from the actual tumor microenvironment and often lead to poor clinical efficacy of PDT. This paper designs and develops a microfluidic biochip for tumor PDT, and prepares a fluorescent nanosensor (λex = 410 nm; λem = 460 nm) to fluorescently sense the production of singlet oxygen during the PDT process, analyzing the main factors affecting the inactivation of tumor cells by PDT. The results show that reducing the pH of the culture medium from 7.4 to 6.8 (environmental acidification) and increasing the injection flow rate from 5 μL/h to 20 μL/h (increased shear stress) both reduce the phagocytic efficiency of tumor cells towards nano photosensitizers. In the early stage of PDT, the oxygen content is sufficient (<30 s), and the differences in photosensitizer dosage, microacidification, and mechanical microenvironment have little effect on the yield of singlet oxygen. The cell phototoxicity is similar. In the late stage of PDT (30-180 s), the oxygen content decreases, the yield of singlet oxygen decreases, and different tumor microenvironment parameters result in different cellular phototoxicity. This work explores the production of singlet oxygen during PDT in a simulated tumor microenvironment through fluorescence sensing, providing useful references for promoting the clinical development of tumor PDT.

摘要:At room temperature, two efficient red iridium(III) complexes, (4tfmpq)2Ir(Pydtc) and (4tfmpq)2Ir(Indtc), containing a unique four-membered ring Ir-S-C-S skeleton, have been successfully synthesized. These complexes use 4-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)quinazoline (4tfmpq) as the main ligand and dithiocarbamate derivatives (Na-Pydtc and Na-Indtc) as the ancillary ligands. The abundant nitrogen heterocycles in their molecular structure enhance the electron mobility, while the different electron-donating units in the dithiocarbamate derivatives help to regulate photophysical properties. The complex (4tfmpq)2Ir(Pydtc) exhibited an emission peak at 611 nm and the quantum yield of 92.7%. The emission peak and quantum yield of complex (4tfmpq)2Ir(Indtc) were 614 nm and 90.9%, respectively. High-performance organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using the double emissive layer structure were prepared by employing these two complexes as dopant. For device D1 using (4tfmpq)2Ir(Pydtc) as dopant, the maximum current efficiency (ηc,max) and maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) reached 56.29 cd·A-1 and 32.53%, respectively, and the CIE (Commission Internationale de l´Eclairage) coordinates were (0.61, 0.37). In addition, the device showed a lower efficiency roll-off at the brightness of 1000 cd·m-2, with the EQE remaining at 28.44%. These results demonstrate the potential application of iridium (III) complexes containing a four-membered ring Ir-S-C-S skeleton in OLEDs.

摘要:High-efficiency narrow-emission blue organic light-emitting device (OLED) is one of the research hotspots in the field of flexible display. In this paper, a D-A-D blue molecule, DPF-NA was designed and synthesized by using dinaphthyl[2,3-B:2',3'-D]furan as a weak electron acceptor and N-(4-biphenylyl)-1-naphthylamine as electron donors. The molecule shows a photoluminescence (PL) peak at 441 nm in n-hexane solution. Theoretical calculations and photophysical measurements show that DPF-NA possesses hybridized localized charge transfer (HLCT) excited state characteristics, combining high luminescence efficiency of the localized state (LE) and high exciton utilization of the charge transfer (CT) state. As a consequence, the molecule shows a high PL photoluminescence quantum efficiency (PLQY) of 81.2% in dichloromethane solution. OLED devices based on the DPF-NA film (with a doping concentration of 3 wt%) has an electroluminescence (EL) peak located at 455 nm, with a small full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 26 nm.. The CIE coordinates are (0.14, 0.08), and the maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) is 6.76%.
摘要:A novel self-recoverable mechanoluminescent phosphor Ca5Ga6O14:Eu3+ was developed by the high-temperature solid-state reaction method, and its luminescence properties were investigated. Ca5Ga6O14:Eu3+ can produce red mechanoluminescence; importantly, it shows good repeatability. The mechanoluminescence of Ca5Ga6O14:Eu3+ results from the piezoelectric field generated inside the material under stress, rather than the charge carriers stored in the traps, which can be confirmed by the multiple cycles of mechanoluminescence tests and heat treatment tests. The mechanoluminescence color can be turned from red to green by co-doping varied concentrations of Tb3+, which may be meaningful for encrypted letter writing. The encryption scheme for secure communication was devised by harnessing mechanoluminescence patterns in diverse shapes and ASCII codes, which shows good encryption performance. The results suggest that the mechanoluminescence phosphor Ca5Ga6O14:Eu3+, Tb3+ may be applied to the optical information encryption.

摘要:Memristor-based neuromorphic computing showcases great potential for overcoming the von Neumann bottleneck and enabling energy-efficient data processing. Organic polymers, due to their excellent semiconductor and optoelectronic properties as well as solution processability, are ideal candidates for low-cost memristor and synaptic applications. However, the high operating voltage and random switching of resistive states in polymer memristors limit their performance in neuromorphic chips and increase the complexity of peripheral circuits. In this study, the polymer MEH-PPV doped with ionic liquid [EMIM][PF6] was used as the active layer to construct a vertically structured memristor. This design provides a variety of short-term and long-term synaptic plasticity behaviors, which can be modulated by electrical and optical inputs, achieving a significant reduction in operating voltage and an expanded range of tunable conductance states. The memristor exhibited key features of optically modulated biological synapse and brain-inspired learning and memory characteristics at mV-level voltage while integrating photodetection, memory, and processing functions into a single compact device. Additionally, this organic synaptic array was applied to image recognition and memory tasks in the human visual neural system. The promising results provide important insights for the design of next-generation low-power and high-performance organic neuromorphic devices.

摘要:Multicolor emission carbon dots(CDs) have widespread application prospects in bioimaging, sensing, light-emitting diodes and catalysis. However, to date, it remains a long-standing challenge to prepare tunable-emission multicolor CDs using biomass materials as carbon sources. Herein, six types of biomass carbon dots (BCDs) with adjustable emission from 450 nm to 680 nm under a single wavelength excitation were successfully prepared using nature spinach as carbon sources via changing reaction solvents. The obtained BCDs were characterized by morphology, size, element composition and optical properties. Among all the BCDs, the average diameters of blue, yellow, pink and red BCDs were 2.25 nm, 4.15 nm, 1.73 nm and 7.96 nm, respectively.These BCDs had high quantum yields ( 12.68-30.77%) . The fluorescence mechanism of the tunable BCDs was mainly attributed to the interaction between the carbon core’s conjugation degree and surface groups, which was analyzed by investigating the structure, composition and optical properties of CDs. Moreover, chiral films with iridescence were prepared by evaporation-induced self-assembly via dispersing blue, yellow and red BCDs into CNC solution, respectively, followed by characterizing their optical performance. This research pave the way to a new development in view of application for multicolor BCDs.
摘要:Zinc oxide nanomaterials (ZnO) hold tremendous potential in the field of self-powered photodetection due to their unique physical and chemical properties. However, self-powered photodetectors based on ZnO nanomaterials currently face challenges such as complex structures, slow response speed, low responsivity and detectivity etc., making it difficult to meet practical application requirements. In this study, simple structured ITO/ZnO quantum dots (QDs)/Au photodetectors with fast response speed were fabricated. A surface treatment process combining Boric acid (BA) surface treatment with annealing was carried out, which successfully reduced the surface state density in ZnO quantum dot films and increased the device's detectivity by approximately an order of magnitude. The rise and fall times of the device at 0 V were 1.29 ms and 1.31 ms, respectively, achieving an on/off ratio of 10⁴ and a responsivity as high as 8.81 mA/W. Applying this process to bandgap-tunable Mg²⁺-doped quantum dot-based photodetectors similarly improved the detectivity and responsivity of the devices. A high-response-speed self-powered photodetector with a rise time of 0.93 ms was obtained, and as the Mg doping concentration increased, the rise time of the device decreased. This work demonstrates that the combined BA surface treatment with annealing process significantly enhances the performance of chemically synthesized ZnO materials, with potential widespread application in performance optimization of photodetectors based on ZnO nanomaterials.

摘要:Using the high-temperature solid-phase method, a series of Sr2-xGa2SiO7: xSm3+ red phosphors were synthesized. The synthesized phosphors were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoluminescence (PL) spectra, high-temperature luminescence spectra, fluorescence quantum efficiency, and fluorescence decay lifetime to investigate their phase composition, crystal structure, luminescent properties, and thermal stability. The results indicate that under 404 nm UV excitation, the Sr2-xGa2SiO7: xSm3+ phosphors emit bright red light at 598 nm. The luminescence intensity of Sr2-xGa2SiO7: xSm3+ phosphors varies with the concentration of Sm3+ ions, exhibiting concentration quenching at x = 0.03 due to dipole-dipole interactions. As the temperature increases, the phosphors display anomalous thermal quenching behavior, reaching maximum luminescence intensity at 393 K, which is 102.5% of that at room temperature. At 473 K, the luminescence intensity can still maintain 101.3% of that at room temperature. Additionally, the fluorescence quantum efficiency of the optimal sample can reach 72.5%. The research demonstrates that Sr2-xGa2SiO7: xSm3+ red phosphors are promising luminescent materials for white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) due to their high thermal stability and quantum efficiency.

摘要:Herein, a series of ZnxMg0.993-xGa2O4:0.7%Ni2+(x=0-0.5)(ZMGO:Ni2+)phosphors with inverse spinel structure were successfully prepared through a hydrothermal method followed by a vacuum heat treatment, emitting within the 2nd near-infrared transmittance window(NIR-II: 1000-1700 nm). The particle size of ZMGO:Ni2+ phosphors exhibited a gradual increase with increasing Zn2+doping content. Upon excitation by a 635 nm laser, ZMGO:Ni2+ phosphors exhibited a broad emission band centered at approximately 1279 nm, which can be attributed to the characteristic emission of Ni2+. Their thermal activation energy is increased from 224 to 242 meV with increasing Zn2+ doping concentration. A NIR-II phosphor-converted light-emitting diode (NIR-II pc-LED) was fabricated by employing ZMGO:Ni2+ phosphors with the strongest luminescence intensity, in conjunction with a 620 nm red LED chip. Based on high penetration ability, minimal scattering property and auto-fluorescence-free background of NIR-II light, night vision imaging with occlusion and tissue imaging were performed using the NIR-II pc-LED, respectively.

摘要:Aiming at the application requirements of orange-yellow laser in the fields of laser medicine, food and drug detection, we have carried out research on high-power fundamental frequency 1150 nm vertical external cavity surface emitting semiconductor laser ( VECSEL ). In this paper, a large-size fundamental mode spot external cavity structure in the laser resonant cavity is proposed to make the VECSEL cavity mode match the larger pump spot size to achieve high-power laser output. The gain peak-cavity mode detuning structure is proposed. The gain peak is different from the temperature drift coefficient of the cavity mode.

“Researchers have developed a submicron-scale temperature sensor with exceptional sensitivity, utilizing a triangular MAPbI3 nanoplatelet laser.

This advancement offers a new direction for the development of ultrasmall temperature sensors, suitable for compact systems.”
摘要:Submicron scale temperature sensors are crucial for a range of applications, particularly in micro and nanoscale environments. One promising solution involves the use of active whispering gallery mode (WGM) microresonators. These resonators can be remotely excited and read out using free-space structures, simplifying the process of sensing. In this study, we present a submicron-scale temperature sensor with a remarkable sensitivity up to 185 pm/℃ based on a triangular MAPbI3 nanoplatelet (NPL) laser. Notably, as temperature changes, the peak wavelength of the laser line shifts linearly. This unique characteristic allows for precise temperature sensing by tracking the peak wavelength of the NPL laser. The optical modes are confined within the perovskite NPL, which measures just 85 nanometers in height, due to total internal reflection. Our NPL laser boasts several key features, including a high Q of ~ 2610 and a low laser threshold of about 19.8 µJ cm-2. The combination of exceptional sensitivity and ultra-small size makes our WGM device an ideal candidate for integration into systems that demand compact temperature sensors. This advancement paves the way for significant progress in the development of ultrasmall temperature sensors, opening new possibilities across various fields.
摘要:Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) is easily integrated on-chip and is a key optoelectronic device in systems such as laser radar and security lighting. However, the severe self-heating phenomenon can affect the output power, high-speed characteristics, and stability of the devices. Therefore, thermal management technology is extremely important, and adopting an optimized packaging approach can effectively increase the heat dissipation of VCSELs, which is an important method to improve VCSELs' thermal performance. This article is based on a finite element method (FEM) computational model to numerically analyze the thermal characteristics of VCSELs with different packaging methods and a thin copper layer covering the devices' surface.The simulation results indicate that compared to the top-emitting packaging method, the flip-chip packaging with substrate-emitting (fully etched top and bottom DBR) can effectively reduce the active region temperature, with a reduction rate exceeding 56%. As the device mesa diameter gradually increases, devices using the top-emitting packaging method show a decreasing trend in temperature and thermal resistance, with a temperature reduction 50℃ and the thermal resistance reduction of over 3.25 K/mW. However, devices with a fully etched top and bottom DBR structure using flip-chip packaging and devices with only etched P-DBR structure using flip-chip packaging both exhibit an slowly increasing trend in temperature and thermal resistance, with temperature increases of 2℃ and thermal resistance increases of 0.15 K/mW. Covering the device mesa, sidewalls, and substrate surfaces with a layer of copper can effectively reduce the temperature of the active region. When the thickness of the copper layer is 3 μm, the temperature reduction of the active region is 43% and thermal resisitance reduction is 1.9 K/mW. This article analyzes the impact of packaging methods on the thermal characteristics of VCSELs and proposes optimization solutions, which have guiding significance for the effective thermal packaging of VCSELs.
摘要:In recent years, the demand for white LED lighting with high color rendering index has posed new challenges to the LED industry. Carbon dots, as a new type of nanomaterial in the 21st century, is expected to become an ideal single component phosphor for white LED devices with high color rendering index, because of its advantages of simple preparation process, high stability, optical tunability and wide emission. However, aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) of carbon dots greatly limits its application in solid-state lighting. In this paper, a high-efficiency fluorescent carbon dots were synthesized by microwave method under mild preparation process with phenphenolline as raw material, and the surface functional group tuning of the carbon dots was realized by doping technique. A one-component solid carbon dots phosphors with anti-ACQ were successfully prepared by one-step method, which can be applied to white LED devices with high color rendering index. Its solid quantum yield is as high as 37%, and the white LED prepared with it as phosphor shows excellent photoelectric performance.
